Semplici Emozioni Lyrics in English Nek

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Semplici Emozioni by Nek from Italian to English.
Through the glowing streetlights
I walk slowly
My shadow stretches and reaches you and I
Close to you
It's not easy to talk when you never have enough time
Hardly any urge to leave
And hardly any urge to
Leave you here
Because I still believe
Because I still remember
Because I still live it
We ran barefoot on the sand
All the sky around, clouds at dawn, and I
Was almost afraid
Afraid to feel this alive alive
Simple feelings alive on my skin
Every answer in a crazy run, and you
Who said love
Is only a word
But I still believe
But I still live it
Because I still remember
Tell me now what's more important
Than what we have inside
But you're a slave to a timed life
And you run faster
Than the wind
And this world has no more distances
You can fly wherever you want
But if I scream, if I look for you
If I die
You'll feel it
Because you still live it
Because you still feel it
You can't stop it now
You can't stop it
Never never never never never
Days weeks
Moonless nights
Between work, dreams, and a shiver down my back, and you
Were chain-free
Sniffing the world to feel alive
Lost among objects
Lost in glances
Lost in awakenings and in crazy nights and then
It's already time to go
Please don't leave
Because I still want you
Because I'm still living
Because I still believe
We ran barefoot on the sand
All the sky around, clouds at dawn, and I
Was almost afraid
Afraid to feel this alive alive
Simple feelings alive on my skin
Every answer in a crazy run, and you
Who said love
Is only a word
But I still believe
But I still live it
Because I still remember

SONG MEANING

Nek invites us to follow him through city streets lit by lampposts, straight into a rush of memories that still tingle on his skin. Semplici Emozioni is a nostalgic snapshot of two lovers who once ran barefoot on the sand at dawn, tasting freedom, electricity and a hint of fear at feeling so intensely alive. Time, routine and distance are trying to pull them apart, yet every streetlight, every shadow and every gust of wind keeps lighting up the same simple feelings that first brought them together.

The song reminds us that love is not just a word but a heartbeat that resists schedules, planes and reason itself. Even when life pushes us to run faster than the wind, the singer believes those shared sensations still echo inside both hearts. No matter how far they travel or how many “nights without a moon” pass, a single cry can cross every border. In the end, Semplici Emozioni celebrates the stubborn power of genuine emotion — the kind you can never silence once it has taught you what it means to feel truly, unapologetically alive.
